Nature's Palette
Today I am sitting the Nature's Palette art show at KAGS.

Regardless, it is a beautifully presented show with a wide variety of subject matter.
The show opened yesterday with the opening reception on 01 October 2016 from 1:00-4:00p.m.
If you have a chance please come out to the opening, meet the artists and enjoy some light refreshments.
The exhibit runs until 11 September 2016.

Dancing Blueberries
This morning I went to the Dancing Blueberries at 360 George St. N., Peterborough, Ontario to meet Lorraine so we could change the paintings.
It worked out well as I don't mind going up and down the ladder to take the paintings off the wall and put up the new ones.
It didn't take long to take down all of Lorraine's paintings and then we started by putting the largest piece of mine in the centre spot.
Next we started at the far end with one of the two larger paintings and gradually filled in the spaces toward the centre painting.
On the opposite side of the largest painting the other larger painting was hung, followed by the remaining paintings.
If you have a chance please come out to enjoy the exhibit which will run from 28 September to 30 November 2016.
While you are there enjoy some of the wonderful pastries, try the soup or enjoy a meal, everything is made fresh daily.

ACEO - Autumn Snow 2
I thought I would finish this painting (see posts on 29 February, 11 May and 31 July 2016) that is the companion piece to the one I completed earlier this month (see post on 11 September 2016).
Using raw sienna and burnt sienna I put in the background grasses.
Next using a sponge and various mixtures of alizarin crimson, cadmium red, cadmium yellow and new gamboge I put the leaves on the maple trees.
I then used the same colours to scatter a few fallen leaves across the ground.
Keeping the colour more to the blue tones I mixed French ultramarine blue with a small amount of burnt sienna and put in the background shadows on the snow.
I put in the foreground grasses and growies.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.

Mixed Masters
Today I was at Art on Kent for the last day of the Mixed Masters exhibit.
There were many interesting pieces hanging on the walls in a wide variety of media.
Some of the acrylic had various metallic pigments and textured gels used in them.
Others were collages with cut outs from books and magazine pasted onto a background and painted.
Some were made of layers of cut paper and put into shadow box frames giving them a three dimensional affect.
I also took in my paintings for the upcoming show called "The Future is Now" which is Part II of a show held in February this year called "Blast from the Past".
The new show will feature the artists’ interpretations of items and images that had been displayed from the Olde Gaol Museum.
The opening reception for the new show is on 01 October 2016 from 1:00p.m. - 3:00p.m. and the exhibit will continue until 22 October 2016.
When I returned home it was to find that Ron had been very busy working on the new door he was putting into the living room.
He had taken out the support beams which has been on either side of the smaller door and replaced them onto either side of the new doors.
While the work on the door isn't finished yet and my living room looks like a battle zone I know that it won't be long before everything is finished and I will be able to enjoy the magnificent view from the top of my hill.

Clear Lake IV - Sitting Ducks I
I wanted to complete this drawing that I worked on last month (see posts on 09 June 2013 and 05 August 2016).
First I added in the rest of the cattails to the right of the large rock and the more I looked at the drawing the more I felt that something was missing.
Using a pencil, I lightly sketched in a pair of ducks sitting on the large rock near the cattails; it was at this point that I decided to change the name of the drawing to Sitting Ducks.
I carefully inked them in and then added some cast shadow onto the rock and put in some of their reflections into the water.
This original 4-1/2" x 9” pen and ink drawing when matted and shrink wrapped with be available for $40.00.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.
